英文乡村歌曲：Scotty McCreery - Better Than That

First crush¹, first kiss, first time I saw the ocean
And dug² my toes in the sand
(Your love is better than that)
Baseball and summer nights, casting³ out when the fish first bite,
First time I got a Chevy in my hands
(Your love is better than that)
I thought nothing can touch that by a mile
I thought nothing can make that moment seem so worthwhile

Your love is better, better, better than that
Nothing is sweeter than you,
Making my heart beat so fast
Everything I could have been
That was at the end of all those other paths
Your love is better,
Your love is better than that

Six string, first song, the way it felt to sing along
To some words that were scribbled⁴ on my soul
(Your love is better than that)
I thought nothing can touch that by a mile
I thought nothing can make that moment seem so worthwhile

Your love is better, better, better than that
Nothing is sweeter than you,
Making my heart beat so fast,
Everything I could have been
That was at the end of all those other paths
Your love is better,
Your love is better than that

One day, years from now,
When I'm old and gray, I'm gonna smile about
How life has been so good...

But your love is better, better, better than that
Nothing is sweeter than you,
Making my heart beat so fast,
Everything I could have been
That was at the end of all those other paths
Yeah, yeah, your love is better than that,
Better than that
(Your love is better than that)
